Electrical Engineering is a Science course in the CTY program. It requires previous enrollment in Algebra I. Its course code is ENGE, and it is offered at Carlisle, Los Angeles, and Saratoga Springs, and was also offered at Loudonville.
Course Description
Electrical Engineering offers an introduction into the field of electrical engineering. The course covers much of the electricity and magnetism that is offered in a standard AP Physics course, and it also covers the science of circuits and electronics. In addition to extensive lab work, the course teaches students to use various mathematical and scientific tools to aid them in their studies. Labs and projects done in class vary from site to site, but may include leaning how to use a soldering iron, VCR cars (racing cars made entirely out of a broken VCR set plus a battery), bottle rockets, a lab on series and parallel resistors using Kirchoff's Laws and Ohm's Law, assembly of 555 timer based oscillators, a solar powered car controlled by an integrated circuit, and a light following robot that responds to contact with walls and barriers built around the LM386 operational amplifier.
Class History
LOU.08.2
This was the last time that Loudonville (Siena College) was open as a CTY location, the class was instructed by Kris Darlington, an AP Physics B teacher at a nearby military school and the TA was Glen Haber, a college level EE student.
SAR.12.1
This session's course was taught by Kris Darlington and TA'd by Eric Hauenstein. This particular class broke the record for most girls in electrical engineering with a total of six (6) girls in the class. Some funny things that happened include:
"like a bus!" Using sausages to find a magnetic field "ask Siri"
LOS.14.1
This session of ENGE was taught by Ranbel Sun, MIT Graduate, and Mark Jian Zhong, a graduate of Columbia University. This class was fabulously notorious for having been criticized for "ostracizing" someone who plagiarized work and who also stuck LEDs into a 120 VAC outlet. A taser was also designed in this class, capable of delivering a 25V, 500mA shock to anything it wanted. Some quotes include:
"I can't fit these two things into this (breadboard) hole"
"That's what she said"
"Not to you"
